Canadian medical licensing exam

The Canadian Medical Licensing Exam (MLE) assesses whether international medical graduates (IMGs) and medical students are prepared to practice safely in Canada. It typically includes multiple-choice questions and clinical skills assessments covering medical knowledge, patient care, and professionalism. Successful completion signals that the candidate has met the national standards required for licensure or residency programs. The exam ensures physicians have the necessary competencies to provide high-quality healthcare services in the Canadian context.
